“This home was built in the early 1920 so it’s close to 100 years old. We knew when buying such an old home that it had a lot of work. While we had a lot to do on it, we love a story and we love history along with the character of this old home. That is what initially drew us in,” shares home owner and fashion designer Alana Groenewald.
The husband and wife duo retained the wooden floors along with some of the original arches and alcoves, and concentrated on making the space more freelowing and comfortable for their family of four, while providing their businesses with a home to grow.
Huge fans of the garden, The Groenewalds wanted the interiors to echo the outdoors so used a combination of dry flowers and potted plants together with locally sourced baskets and organic fabrics on the cushions to help create an easy yet lush and luxurious space.
